standing room. RuIn0fS concerning the
work done by the grand jury were
numerous, and the larger part of the
crowd present felt'more or less inter-
eSted in the proceedings. 1t was 8
o'clock when the court was called to
order. with Judge Young on the bench.
He looked unusually stern, and a num-
Der of saloon men, who knew or rather
felt that they had been indicted, looked
blue. Soon the parties who had been
indicted began to arrive, and curious
crowd it was. Men of all nationalitieS,
and dressed in all manner of ways,
came gingerly in. Three or four women,
we'll dressed and wearing jewelry. were
among the crowd, and attra cted conSid-
cradle attention. The liquor cases came
first, and after they were disposed of
the prisoners, now in the county Jail,
who had been indicted, were arraigned.
Following is the list:

TIE GRAND JURY.
This session of the grand jury prom
ises to be one of if not the most inter-
eSting ever held, and very lively
shaking up of the dry bones is promised
in all quarters. All day long yesterday
the anti-roOmS were filled with men
wanted as witnesses, from obscure
saloonkeepers to prominent business
men, and the scene resembled strangely
enough, the picture presented one year
ago this month. when the First street
madames. the gamblers and blind pigs
were indicted, and a report brought in
scorching the administration. Among
the witnesses present were NJ. w. Glenn,
d. B. Johnson and ex-Adjt. J. E. Ward,
composing the "great combination
tendent of the work house; City Comp
troller Holbrooke, j. l. Black, of A.
Kelly d Co., several special detectives
and nearly all the policemen whose
beats are on the main streets. All were
more or less mysterious, and after
going before the jury and telling what
they knew slid out and left as soon as
possible. 1t was learned from reliable
authority that the Law and Order
league, with the aid Of several spec
ial detectives, had been instrumental in
procuring indictments against some
thirty-ive or forty saloonkeepers out
side of the city limits, who have been
doing rushing business, and against
several druggists who have been selling
stomach bitters" over their counters.
The presence of the '.great combina-
tom gave the impression that the af-
fairs of eX-License Inspector Thomas j.
Kelly were being looked into very closely
and that all attempt would be made,
if it has not already, to indict Mayor
Ames. Be this as it may, it is known
that there is a strong influence at work
to secure evidence against certain ex-
Office holders, whose only wrong doing
